I'm gonna BURST!...

...into action. I've gotta. There's no other option. I have too much to offer this world to keep it to myself. Plus there are too many people counting on me and expecting more than I'm giving. It's time to 'Live Louder'!

No earplugs needed--you're gonna love the upcoming sounds!

You will thoroughly enjoy caRV'ing with Jedd in a Honda Element, experiencing unparallelled playtime with Concoct: A Kids Creation Camp, being inspired beyond belief with words straight from Jedd's modern computer quill. And that's just the beginning...

...of the end of a life going in circles.

God give me strength and courage to follow through!

Live Out Loud...All Summer Long!

My Sister-in-law Alisha creates compelling content and finds nice little gadgets to enhance the experience:

(These gadgets are even cooler when they actually work--you're supposed to be hearing Live Out Loud/All Summer Long, but the code isn't working)

Alisha and her husband (my brother Jason) also remind me (like when comparing blogs) that while where you rest your head is exciting, with whom you rest your head (and the resulting adventuresome tikes) is exciting also...perhaps more?!!

CampUs Shuttle: Go on...rest your head

Bus #1372 is a great CampUs Shuttle. Situated on nearly perfectly flat ground in a low light area this shuttle is an ideal spot to rest your head on a mat in between the seats. If you lack a mat, soft seats are at your side. And excellent weather exists in August creating a great setting for sound sleep--Zzzzz...

Rrrrr...disturbed constantly by a recurring nightmare of sleeping in and waking up to a shocked driver (Demond I believe) wondering "who the he** is camping in my bus!"

We can definitely do better...but it's a decent start to what could be commuter services latest addition: The Shuttle Cam!

A Beautiful Backwindow View!

I'm fairly convinced my sister Tami specifically purchased a vehicle in which I couldn't camp comfortably. Otherwise I'd be spending the night right here by the Bountiful Temple. It's a beautiful backwindow view and overnight parking at this open trailhead is highly unlikely to attract any security. But we'll never know (tonight) given I'm already uncomfortable, excited to hop in the ergonomical driver's seat!

The Coveted Urban Camper's Element

Hmmm....it is indeed interesting how people who have led (or are leading) similar lives experience related tastes in choice of cars to camp in. "The Honda Element would be the perfect vehicle to camp in" a guy at ward Family Home Evening informed me while chatting about car camping adventures and the coolest places we'd camped. I fully agreed as I've desired a Honda Element for quite some time now given its superior campability.

So what are we waiting for? Make some money. Buy one. Adventure in it (part-time!). And go live life...that's why we're here! (Keep in mind the part-time thing though--Urban Camping is best-lived part-time).

While you're at it how about you make some money with a full-time job. Buy a house. Woo a good woman. Adventure with her. And create me some grandkids! No car camping necessary.

Wild...where did she come from? My mom is supposed to be in Canada serving a mission.

P.S. Speaking of Urban Camping you might be interested to know I met a man who lives along the Jordan River Parkway tonight in a tent who was quite cool. He picked up his beer cans around his place and contributed to our cleanup endeavors.
